The face painting done for my daughter’s 3rd bday party was a hit! All of the kids were so excited to look through the amazing design options and get their faces painted! It was the highlight of the party and Sara Mae is so talented!! Thank you again!!

Working with Sarah Mae was so easy and ideal when managing a birthday party. She was able to work through the many children's faces with ease and joy. Everyone was impressed with her work and even the custom face painting! We would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a great face painter.

Painted Faces by Terri-Ann Fox

Terri came early and set up. She worked extremely well with the children and with our adults who also got their faces painted :-) She came in costume (we had a unicorn theme) which thrilled by granddaughter who was the first to point this out. Terri was flexible and did 'arm painting' for those who did not want their faces painted. We truly enjoyed her and would definitely recommend her to others.

Sara was an amazing addition to our party! A little unconventional but we had a circus themed party (all adults) and Sara had use all feeling the child like wonder of getting your face painted and glitter tattoos. She was so fast and everyone who wanted their face painted was able to get that and has just the best energy to be around! Truly made for a delightful experience!

I was very pleased with Angela. Her face painting was excellent and she was great with the kids and very easy to work with. My guests commented positively on her face painting skills and a couple of the moms got her card so they could use her in the future. She would very pleasant to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She also made balloon swords for the kids.

Rachel was great to work with and the end result of my makeup job was really great. She was able to effectively and quickly translate my idea (Roy Lichtenstein face paint) into a great makeup job.

What a real pro! We had a wonderful experience with face painting and balloon art for my daughter’s 5th birthday party. What a magical experience. Natasia as so good with the kids (had about 20), she listened to requests, kept the entire queue of excited kids organized, made beautiful face painting art, wore a fun outfit in line with our fox themed party (her idea… I didn’t have to worry about a thing! Thank you so much for a great experience!

Our daughter was absolutely delighted by a visit from Moana (Melissa) who did wonderful face-painting and really extraordinary balloons. The Party Artist were always responsive and Melissa was prompt and a wonderful highlight of our child’s birthday!

Tina was a huge hit at my daughter's 5th birthday party. Her face painting (and arm painting!) is above and beyond. Every single kid came away with something special and just a little bit magical as well. Tina stayed until every kid (and an adult or 2!) had been painted. She was great with the kids who somehow managed to sit still for her. Communication before and during the party was easy, fast and friendly. Thanks, Tina!

Great experience with The Party Artists for our joint mom and 1 yr old birthday party. Natasia was very responsive and easy to work with. It was Halloween season, and super fun to have Nara paint faces and do balloons, the kids loved her! Would recommend!

Joanie provided face painting services at our annual company picnic and did a fantastic job creating lively one-of-a-kind designs for the kids and even did hand designs for a few of the adults. Joanie is extremely professional and friendly. We’d definitely hire her again!

Mishka facepainting was fantastic! We hired her for my daughters Hello Kitty themed 7th birthday and she arrived right on time, set up quickly, and was painting faces in no time. Her designs were stunning and she was even able to paint some lesser-known characters beautifully just by looking at a picture. The whole experience was seamless and easy for me to manage in the midst of a chaotic birthday party. I highly recommend her!
